What are you Baking the week of November 10, 2019?

Mike, I did not but I think that's a good idea.

I'm taking notes on Len's experiments. I noted that a lot of the U-Tube videos brush the tops of the risen Kaiser rolls with milk and then dip them in a seed mixture (how do they not deflate?) or brush the tops with milk, then sprinkle the seeds on top.

Len the buns look very good!

If you do the milk/seeds thing, then let them rise upside down, any deflation seems to work itself out in the final rise. Similarly, any deflation from when you flip them over again for baking seems to be taken care of by oven spring. I find putting the seeds on before the final rise helps them stick. (I find a little diluted honey helps stick them even better, I've used a honey-and-milk mixture a few times, too.)
